Similar session for each year group whether Foundation Stage or Year 6. No visuals or colour which was a great pity for such a lively dance. Shakespeare Day (Midsummer's Night Dream) ending with a whole school performance was so much energetic and engaging and I'm afraid this did not live up to it. Sorry.

The show was promoted as being suitable for the whole school, however it was definitely pitched towards the younger members of the audience. Reception through to Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed it, but I'm afraid that most of the older year groups were unimpressed. My year 5 class reported that they liked 'the dabbing'. Having said that, the actors were engaging and the singing was good, the show just wasn't quite right for KS2 - sorry.

Thank you for your lion king workshop. The children all very much enjoyed the dance and routine. Matthew was an amazing dancer and lead the workshop well. As we were using this workshop as a Fab Finish I would have liked to have seen a backdrop, scenery or props being used to make it really come to life. Even if we had been told to make our own masks or props to bring in with us it would have made it more magical for them and really brought the Westend show to life.

We asked all our children their thoughts on the performance. All the children enjoyed the 'panto' but 8 out of 10 children thought there should have been more than 2 actors and the props could have been improved upon.

The actors were on time, very pleasant and set up quickly. I was quite surprised that there were only 2 actors as, in the past, we have always had at least 4 or 5 actors performing for us. The actors told the story well, sang beautifully and the majority of children were engaged. Both performances lasted an hour or just over. I think this is too long for the younger children to sit still even if they got them to stand up at points to join in the songs. The story of Scrooge is not the most upbeat either and at times it was quite sad (not your usual pantomime performance). I also only recall one 'he's behind you' moment and one 'oh yes it is'...it was possibly my fault for choosing this show but I was hoping for a pantomime dame, lots of audience participation, upbeat songs and more actors for our money! I had similar feedback from my colleagues. We felt the performers were very professional but it was too long and not a pantomime as we know it.

The Actors worked very hard and the younger pupils enjoyed the pantomime atmosphere. However, the props and costumes were a little simple and tatty. The characters were limited because there were only two actors and this affected the overall performance. They also didn't have anywhere to properly hide and change which took away from the magic. The younger pupils were still entertained but unfortunately it didn't have the same appeal for the older pupils.
